For a long time I have been on the search for a real estate plugin for WordPress that could feed aggregators such as Zillow, Trulia, RentHop, Postlets, and others so I could syndicate my listings without using a third-party service or manually adding every listings to each site.
The life of a real estate agent can be extremely appealing. It’s freedom with unlimited earning potential, and in NYC, a few deals can go a long way. Sometimes, it seems that money falls from the sky and into your lap. You meet exciting people, celebrities, and titans of industry. One day you tour a $30,000 West Village triplex rental, the other your showing a $5,000,000 million dollar Townhouse.
The real estate business is full of highs, lows, sometimes funny, occasionally inspirational, and of course, is loaded with characters from all walks of life abapentin medicine. Our trade is based on information and customer service, so answering the same questions over and over or listening to clients
If you’re a real estate agent in NYC (or any other business anywhere else apparently) you’ve heard the rumors about Yelp!: they’ll filter good reviews and let bad reviews go public about you or your company. Of course that’s unless you decide to advertise with them, and then they can make all those bad reviews go away.

Not so long ago a client asked me if Leonardo DiCaprio was living on the corner of 85th and Central Park West, when I said it was pretty unlikely since there wasn’t a constant frenzy of pre-teens screaming or paparazzi snapping photos in front of the building. Still my client (or as he said, his girlfriend wanted to know) that Leo might be living in what is now known as the Central Park West castle. Undaunted by my opinion or facts he said that he couldn’t wait to see him walking around the neighborhood, undoubtedly grabbing a knish at Artie’s deli or scoring a slice at Pizza Pete’s. So my quest began to find out who purchased the 7900 SqFt behemoth.
